I want everyone to know who I am and what to expect when they visit my blogs.

I always stood alone in my beliefs and stood tall when greatly outnumbered. Growing up I never knew what I was but knew I was different. I was lucky enough to be involved in a gifted program in school so I had more opportunity to debate than some others. I was 18 years old, working as a construction laborer and heard a voice on the radio saying things I had never heard anyone besides myself say aloud. I asked who it was and a drywaller said it was some guy named Rush. That was August of 1988 and I have given 3 hours a day for nearly 20 years to my political and current events education. An education I believe rivals any you can get obtaining a 4 year degree.

I have no problem speaking hard truths and often hold others to a very high standard. If they do not meet my standard I'm always willing to help if I can. I'm not about bringing people down but lifting them up.

I am always willing to listen and absorb opinions of others. Over the last few years I've changed my opinion on many issues because someone help to guide me. I thank those people.

So....love me or hate me, come hang out and mix it up. When we're done we can go have a beer and a few laughs.

Alright STLAJ - Don't get me wrong, I'm sure you are an awesome person - being gifted and all ; ) But I gotta ask, why are you so special that people have to live up to YOUR standards?... and then you feel the need to help them meet your standards?
I know I'm being a bit sarcastic, but in a playful way.

All I have to communicate with here is words, no tone, inflection or body language. I am aware that it's easy to be misunderstood sometimes.

I believe we are all special and I hold myself to that same high standard which I often do not meet. I'll take the help of others anytime it's offered when I need a boost up. I would only say they are my standards because they are what I strive for.

The point is that there is a time to knock someone down a notch and if it can inspire then to raise their level of communication, i.e. research, independent thought, the ability to listen, some basic grammer and spelling. Not unattainable standards I think.

hmmmmm...a sarcastic, playful blonde named Sheena. You know this is gunna be interesting.....lol
